OVERVIEW
By the end of 2012, 43.3% (3,917) of the 9,044
HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed in Oklahoma since
1982 were known to have died. Of these deaths,
85.0% (3,331) were diagnosed with AIDS and
15.0% (586) were diagnosed with HIV. Of the
cases known to have died, 21.8% (853) were diag‐nosed
with HIV infection and died within a year
of diagnosis. The majority of the deaths occurred
among males (3,469 cases; 88.6%), while females
accounted for 11.4% (448 cases). Deaths of per‐sons
with a diagnosis of HIV infections may be
due to any cause.
BY RACE/ETHNICITY
Of the 3,917 cases known to have died:
 70.3% (2,754) were White,
 17.9% (702) were Black,
 7.0% (275) were American Indian/Alaska
Native,
 3.6% (140) were Hispanic,
 0.3% (11) were Asian/Pacific Islander, and
 0.9% (35) were of Multiple Race.
Of the 5,727 HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed among
Whites, 48.1% (2,754) of these cases were known
to have died. The same was true for American
Indian/Alaska Natives who also had 48.1% of the
cases known to have died (275 deaths among 572
cases). Blacks had the second highest percentage
of cases known to have died at 36.0% (702 deaths
among 1,950 cases), followed by Hispanics at
25.3% (140 deaths among 140 cases).
BY AGE
Individuals who were 30 to 39 years of age at
time of death accounted for the largest number
of deaths (1,505; 38.4%), followed by 40‐49 years
of age (1,180; 30.1%) and 50‐59 years of age
(552; 14.1%). Almost 11% of deaths were in the
20 to 29 years age group (423; 10.8%) at the time
of death and almost 6% were aged 60 years and
over (228 deaths; 5.8%). Teenagers (13‐19 years)
